Unforgettable Love

Finding Aaliyah

Drake

At this point, all I want is my baby back. I don't care bout all the other shit. I just want Aaliyah in my arms. I want the chance to bury my head in her hair again. This shit is driving me crazy. Locke hit me to get my attention.

Locke: When the last time you talked to that nigga Rod?

D: It's been a minute

Locke: Mmm

D: (looks at him) Why, what's up?

Locke: Nothing, just ain't heard from him. He would've brought his ass around begging by now

I laid back in my seat as the plane soared through the sky. I had turned my phone off because so many people were hitting me up, even the damn paps got my number. 

R: Yo man, I need to find my sister

D: I feel you man. This shit is killing me

R: I just don't understand this shit. Where could she be?

D: I wish I knew man. Put my mind at ease

We made it to Fiji some hours later and we headed straight for the hospital. Shad wanted to see Dada. When we got in the room, Shad ran up to the bed and almost jumped in. I knew the feeling because at this moment, I'd never let Liyah go.

K: Hey Drake

D: Hey Dada (hugs her/hands her flowers) These are for you

K: (smells them) These are me and Liyah's favorite

D: I know (winks at her)

K: (tearing up) Yall have to find her

D: What happened Dada?

K: I don't know. It was like one minute we were talking and the next, the plane started going down and we looked at each other, telling each other we were going to be okay and that we loved each other, then I ended up here (crying) I don't understand

R: Baby, did they tell yall if the pilot was in here too?

K: I didn't even think to ask about him. I think his name was Daniel something

R: I'll be right back

I looked at Rashad and decided to follow him. Me and Locke had just made it up behind Rashad when the receptionist told him that Daniel was in room number 3124.

We walked to the room and the pilot was in there cussing in Spanish on the phone. When he looked up and saw his, he frantically put down the phone and tried to jump out of the bed.

D: Aye man, wtf?

Locke: (blocking the door) What's good patna?

Daniel: No, no no no, no, no!

R: (confused/looking at him crazy) Sir, are you alright?

Dan: Look, me no want trouble. Uhh, me just want to get home to me family

R: We understand sir. We just want to ask you a few questions

Dan: (looks skeptical) I'll try me best

R: Do you remember what happened?

Dan: Oh, it was awful. Me always heard of stories like this but me never think it come true!

We all looked at each other.

R: What do you mean sir?

Dan: The man, he come from nowhere! He wasn't supposed to be on the plane!

R: Man, uhh, do you remember what he looks like?

Dan: Big black man, real built, like he play ball. Real dark, angry man

R: What did he do?

Dan: He put gun to me head, tried to push me out me seat. I said No! He hit me, hard, right here (points to head) Me tried to hold on but he kept hitting me. I felt the plane go down and I knew it was bad, real bad. But it wasn't too bad

R: If the plane crashed, how is it that you guys are still alive?

Dan: He knew how to do me job. He took over, got the plane on the ground

We were all confused by this. I looked over at Locke and I could tell he was really thinking about something. Rashad asked him another question. 

R: (pulls up picture of Liyah on his phone) Was she on the plane?

Dan: Yes, yes! Beautiful woman. Beautiful smile. She was there, could never forget her

R: Do you remember what happened to her?

Dan: No, no. After he hit me more times, me whole world went black. Me woke up in here. Please, please, tell me the girls, okay?

R: Yes, they are fine. But this one is missing

Dan: The man, he seem to like her lots. He kept looking back at her

Locke: Say man, can you describe him a little bit more?

Dan: Me don't know

D: Did he have anything that stood out about him. Hair, tattoos, voice?

Dan: He had on a cap... tank top and he had this real nasty scar-

Locke: Did he look like this?

Dan: Yes, yes, yes yes! That's him. That's the bad man!

I looked down at the picture and Locke had pulled up a picture of Rod. I looked at Locke.

Locke: I told you bout this motherfucka man!

This shit didn't make sense. But if he has hurt Liyah, I'll kill him.

R: You know who that is?

Locke: This nigga name Rod we used to run the block with

R: Well let's find this motherfucker!

We walked out of the room and I was still in shock. I was understanding that the nigga didn't like me but to go this far? What the fuck is going on?
